Historical genre in painting of the post-Soviet space of the Republic of Tatarstan as a means of studying national identity
In the context of the transformation of the socio-cultural landscape of the post-Soviet space, the relevance of issues of national identity has become particularly acute. The Republic of Tatarstan, with its rich history and unique cultural heritage, is no exception. In this regard, the study of the artistic reflection of the past in historical genre painting seems to be a promising tool for analyzing the formation and affirmation of the Tatar national identity in the period after the collapse of the USSR.
This article is devoted to the consideration of trends in historical painting in the Republic of Tatarstan in the post-Soviet period, identifying key thematic areas and artistic strategies used by authors to understand the national past and its influence on modern self-awareness. The article examines the potential of the historical genre in Tatarstan painting as a tool for research and representation of the Tatar national identity. The features of the formation of historical painting in the region, the key themes and images used by artists, as well as the influence of political and social contexts on the interpretation of historical events and their reflection in works of art are analyzed. The importance of an integrated approach to the study of this phenomenon, combining art history analysis with socio-cultural and historical research, is emphasized.
Key words: art, historical genre, historical painting, national culture, national, people, universal, Republic of Tatarstan, artist, work of art.

Creating eco-friendly furniture from natural materials: the concept of environmentally friendly production
This article provides a comprehensive study of the concept of creating environmentally friendly furniture made from natural materials, as well as the analysis of ways to introduce the principles of sustainable production in furniture production. The purpose of the research is to develop an integrated approach to the design and manufacture of furniture that minimizes the negative impact on the environment during all periods of the product's life cycle: from extraction of raw materials to recycling. To achieve this goal, the author used a number of research methods: a systematic analysis of the available literature on environmental design and sustainable production; a comparative analysis of different types of natural materials used in the furniture industry in terms of their environmental friendliness; providing successful examples of environmentally responsible furniture companies; developing one of the life cycle models of eco-friendly furniture. The results obtained during the study show that the creation of truly eco-friendly furniture requires not only the use of natural, renewable materials, but also the introduction of innovative, resource-saving technologies in production, rationalization of logistics chains, and the development of reuse and recycling systems. The study proves that the main elements of environmentally sound production are: waste reduction, reduction of energy consumption, elimination of harmful chemicals, and the use of certified raw materials. In the course of the work, the economic feasibility of switching to environmentally friendly production was proved, which is associated with an increase in consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, the possibility of obtaining competitive advantages over non-environmentally friendly industries and strengthening the company's reputation. The author recommends using the findings and recommendations presented in the study as a guide for furniture companies aimed at sustainable development and reducing their environmental footprint. The research results can be used to create new design solutions, select materials, optimize production processes, and develop a marketing strategy aimed at promoting environmental responsibility. This article has practical significance for the development of a "green" economy and an eco-friendly furniture industry.
Key words: eco-friendly furniture, natural materials, sustainable production, product lifecycle, environmental design, green technologies, renewable resources, waste-free production, recycling.

Algorithm for selecting light modifiers for creative images
The article presents a methodology for creating an algorithm for selecting light modifiers in professional photography based on interdisciplinary analysis that combines technical equipment characteristics, artistic tasks, and culturological aspects of visual creativity. The research aims to develop a scientifically grounded decision-making system for selecting optimal light modifiers when creating creative photographic images, considering genre specificity and contemporary trends in visual culture. The methodology includes semiotic analysis of lighting solutions as elements of visual communication sign systems, culturological analysis of the evolution of lighting techniques in photography, systematization of technical characteristics of modern light modifiers, and analysis of professional practice of leading photographers from 2018-2025. The research resulted in a comprehensive classification of light modifiers by technical and artistic characteristics, identification of stable patterns of correspondence between photography genres and preferred lighting solutions, development of methodology for algorithmizing creative decisions based on computational creativity theory, and determination of criteria for evaluating creativity and artistic expressiveness of lighting solutions. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of creating expert systems for supporting creative decisions in photography, developing educational programs for professional photographers, and forming methodological recommendations for lighting design in various photography genres.
Key words: light modifiers, creativity algorithmization, visual culture, photography, light semiotics, computational creativity, culturology, artistic expressiveness, lighting design, creative decisions.

Paradigms of ancient Greek culture in modern visual art formats
Starting from primitive culture, visual preferences are formed in society, which, over time, are reflected in new cultural formats, as the author of the study writes. With the rise of megacities and information technology, there are changes in people's worldview and perception of the surrounding reality, which is the subject of this study. The development of visual culture and art, starting from ancient Greece, has over time shaped the aesthetic space of cities and places where vital resources are concentrated. The constantly changing environment has been able to preserve its symbolic and iconic totality over the centuries, thanks to the historical heritage and monuments of visual art.
The aim of the work is to identify the prerequisites for the development of the dominant formats of ancient culture in new configurations of visual art. The scientific novelty of the work is to identify the diversity and unique features of ancient culture.In this paper, the author presents the results of the integration of European traditions into national culture, using the example of the formation of urban space, modern art objects, monuments of visual art and their reproduction in a digital environment; an analysis of the prerequisites for the formation of aesthetic preferences of the culture of Slavic peoples is made.
The Slavs' attention to the values of ancient culture has been preserved thanks to folklore and national heritage that has come down from the depths of centuries. Modern art objects and monuments of visual art arouse the interest of specialists in cultural studies, aesthetics and art history and allow us to identify the dynamics of aesthetic preferences that influence the development of new cultural formats.
Key words: culture of Ancient Greece, ethnoculture, aesthetic space, national folklore.

The causes of the failure of the soviet system of ideological work
The article examines the causes of the failure of the Soviet system of ideological work. It is emphasized that in the context of the intensification of the ideological struggle in the world, understanding the reasons for the failure of the Soviet system of ideological work acquires not only important theoretical but also practical significance. It is argued that the main, fundamental mistake was the incorrect understanding of the nature of ideology itself. The most important reasons for the failure of the Soviet system of ideological work include: the confusion of science, ideology and propaganda; the unjustified expansion of the ideological sphere; underestimation of the phenomenon of cultural hegemony; incorrect distinction between public ideology and the ideology of individual social groups.
Key words: ideological struggle, ideological work, propaganda and agitation, political ideology, state, society.

Age as a subject of philosophical discourse
The article considers age as a philosophical category located at the intersection of ontology, social philosophy, philosophical anthropology and ethics. The key stages of understanding age in the history of philosophical thought are analyzed — from the ancient concept of a harmonious life cycle to existential and biopolitical interpretations of the XX–XXI centuries. Special attention is paid to phenomenological, critical, and postmodern approaches in which age appears as a construct shaped by social practices, cultural narratives, and mechanisms of power. It is shown that in the context of demographic aging and cultural transformation, age loses its strict normality and becomes the arena of ethical choices, political decisions and individual self-construction. The author insists on the need for philosophical reflection on age as a condition for building a more just, inclusive and solidary society.
Key words: age, aging, philosophical anthropology, existentialism, biopolitics, ageism, identity, philosophy of old age.

The construction of time as parameters of the order of development
There are three concepts of time. These are the duration of existence of objects, cyclicity or successive change of states, one of the coordinates of a single time-space in the theory of relativity. There are many cyclic processes in nature and the world. Change of seasons, time of day, biological cycles of living organisms, social cycles, self-organization processes, etc. A cyclic process is a repeating process in which the system successively undergoes a change of a certain number of basic states that have their own characteristics. The annual cycle is spring, summer, autumn, winter. The diurnal cycle is morning, afternoon, evening, night. The mitotic cycle of cell division consists of 4 stages: presynthetic, synthetic and postsynthetic periods of interphase, mitosis. This paper proposes a universal model of system development, which is distinguished by the fact that the development process is considered as successive, cyclical, consisting of a certain number of stages. Regardless of the energy capacity of the system, which is provided by the design of functional elements, changes are subject to one cycle, successively divided into stages. The possibility of proposing such a model for organizations of different scales and different natures is explained by fractality in nature and the world. The article proposes to consider time as a sequential cyclic process of materialization of the logical construction "content-form-thing in itself - thing for itself" and "quality-quantity-measure". Thus, this sequence can be traced in the cell division cycle, the human thought process, daily and annual cycles, the description of the biblical creation of the world, ancient Chinese hexagrams, and the Vedas.
Key words: time, construction of time, cycle of time, time in hexagrams, logic, dialectics.

Old age and the transformation of communication practices in the digital age
The article examines the phenomenon of old age in the digital age as a socio-cultural and philosophical problem. The mechanisms of symbolic exclusion of older people from the digital space are analyzed, including representative deficits, age normativism, and media patterns. Special attention is paid to A. Honnet's theory of recognition, concepts of social visibility and cultural practices of representation. The author demonstrates that the digital environment, which has an ambivalent character, can act as a platform for a new type of inclusion and self-identification of elderly subjects, as well as an arena for their symbolic elimination. The necessity of philosophical reflection aimed at the formation of ethically sound strategies of communication, cultural participation and digital justice is argued. It is emphasized that old age should not be thought of as a marginal condition, but as a full-fledged form of human existence that requires recognition and representation in digital culture.
Key words: old age, digitalization, symbolic recognition, ageism, philosophy of age, digital inequality, communication, representation.

Limits of freedom and responsibility within the framework of legal norms in the conditions of modern civilization
The article analyzes the dialectical relationship and interaction of freedom and responsibility as a factor of choice in the information society. Attention is drawn to their particularly close connection with morality in the implementation of artificial intelligence. In the modern era of high technology, the concepts of freedom, morality and responsibility are more closely linked than ever before, since their incorrect balance can lead to the destruction of humanity. The special role of law in modern conditions of development is emphasized in establishing the boundaries of freedom, the framework of what is permitted and what is not permitted. It is summarized that the problem of freedom, morality and responsibility within the framework of society acquire new cognitive horizons. Many social values, goals, and acceptable means of realizing social needs are changing, new rules of legal and moral interaction are being established, therefore, the restriction towards the rejection of certain opportunities in order to achieve common goals is of particular importance.
Key words: freedom, necessity, morality, law, artificial intelligence, boundaries of what is permitted, intention, risk society.

Interfaith dynamics of religious practices in Iraqi Kurdistan
The article examines the religious landscape of Iraqi Kurdistan, demonstrating the central role of faith in shaping socio-cultural processes, structures and daily individual life, where religion functions as the main element of public identity. Through the daily prayers of Sunni Muslims, through the ritual maintenance of Yezidi sacred sites, and through the preservation of Christian church traditions, social cohesion and cultural continuity are strengthened, allowing faiths to overcome historical and modern challenges. However, religion also generates tension, manifested in intergroup dynamics, gender role negotiations, and discrepancies between traditional authorities and modern governance structures.
Key words: interfaith dynamics, religious practices, rituals, ceremonies, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Religious practices in the context of religious shrines in modern Iraqi Kurdistan (sociological analysis)
The article presents the results of an analysis of survey data, according to which shrines are integral but contested elements of the spiritual structure of Iraqi Kurdistan. They are widely recognized and spiritually significant, serving as centers of identity and practice, but they face skepticism from a significant minority and uncertainty about their protection and public role. The results of the sociological analysis indicate a dynamic interaction between tradition and the transformation of religious practices, with shrines functioning as unifying symbols and points of disagreement in a pluralistic, adaptable society.
Key words: religious practices, socio-cultural practices, religious shrines, modern Iraqi Kurdistan, Islam, religious minorities.
